Here we show that a delicate interplay between many-body effects, vibrational contributions and dispersion interactions obtained from relativistic density functional theory offers an answer to this long-standing controversy. It also sheds light on the Periodic Table of Crystal Structures. A smooth diffusionless transition through cuboidal lattices gives a detailed insight into the bcc→fcc phase transition for the Groups 1 and 11 elements.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202313679} (DOI).
